There are 3 levels in the management of Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating:1. Non-invasive treatments involve anti-perspirants, iontophoresis, oral drug medications (anti-cholinergic, anti-hypertensives, anxiolytics)2. Minimally-invasive treatment involves injection of Botulinum Toxins (brands – Botox, Dysport, Neurobloc) into the skin to block sweat signals sent by the brain3. Invasive treatment involves a procedure termed Sympathectomy which is carried out to remove surgically, nerve chains located near the spines. This will cut the brain’s signal from passing to the involved areas. Being a permanent procedure, it is reserved as a last resort procedure when non- and minimally-invasive options are exhausted.Read more about BOTOX® treatment of localized Hyperhydrosis on the next post.by.
